Habeus Grabus

"Habeus Grabus" is a law enforcement colloquialism that is a play on the legal term "Habeus Corpus" (a writ/legal action/legal principle, through which a prisoner can be released from unlawful detention,specifically a detention lacking sufficient cause or evidence). While "Habeus Corpus" infers an arrest or detention is unlawful due to a lack of evidence, "Habeus Grabus" infers that an arrest and detention is lawful, has solid evidence and meets the legal requirements needed to press charges.

The trooper put the"Habeus Grabus" on that guy after he failed his field sobriety tests and blew a .104. -or- I put the "Habeus Grabus" on that dirtbag and gave him a free pair of matching stainless steel bracelets before I took him to booking. -or- That cop put the "Habeus Grabus" on that occupier who spit on him.

Habemus Papam 

Latin for: "We have a Pope."

Some scholars maintain that the term is an abbreviation of the phrase "Habemus Papam'n'lockem" which, in the original Latin, meant: "We have a Pope...who knows how to boogie."

After only four sessions at conclave, the college of Cardinals could proudly proclaim, "Habemus Papam!"

Habeas Corpus 

The right of habeas corpus is the constitutionally bestowed right of a person to present evidence before a court that he or she has been wrongly imprisoned.

The law just can't keep you locked up, execute you, or decide your fate without a determination of whether you've committed a crime or not.

Section 9 of the US constitution states - The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.

Since September 11th, Habeas Corpus has been suspended and the government has the right to execute enemy combatants without trial. They've also passed law that they can execute American citizens without trial as well if they are considered a threat.

President Bush and Lincoln are the only two presidents to suspend Habeas Corpus and it is still currently suspended under the Obama administration (2010) giving the federal government full rights to assassinate whom ever they deem necessary without accusation or trial.
